Methodology
The findings were compiled using data from GasBuddy’s Drives feature that provides motorists with
an assessment of their driving habits during their trip in an effort to improve fuel efficiency, mapping
out when and where a poor driving habit occurred.

GasBuddy examined tens of millions of Drives in the fifty states and Washington D.C. from Nov. 21 –
25, 2018, noting the frequency of an aggressive event per driver, whether it be speeding, hard
braking or accelerating.
